Join the Fun, Make it a Blue Anchor Holiday!
Blue Anchor Leisure is a prominent leisure company with a legacy that spans over six decades. Founded by John Woodward OBE in the late 1950's, the company has since grown to become one of the largest holiday park operators on the East Coast.
Our Story
Our journey began with the manufacturing of caravans under the name of Blue Anchor International. The company's innovative holiday home designs earned recognition, and we received the Queen's Award for Export in 1974 and 1975. In the 1990s, we invested in restructuring the Eastgate Holiday Centre into Fantasy Island, the UK's first Indoor Theme Park Resort incorporating Europe's largest open-air, 7-day Market.
Progression and Expansion
Today, Blue Anchor Leisure operates 16 holiday parks across the East Coast, surpassing our humble beginnings as a single holiday park. Our commitment to investing and developing locally has enabled us to offer brand-new developments and expand into new sectors within the leisure industry. Our latest development, Lilac Blossom Meadow, was completed last year and has exceeded expectations.
